Over Labor Day weekend, Daugherty took the boat to Point Prom Dresses for the Tribute to the River National Maritime Days Celebration. "We had a great reaction, three days of cruises up and down the Ohio and the mouth of the Kanawha." He's pleased with the response here, too. "We've booked a lot of charters, weddings, a business meeting, a 60th birthday, a 10th anniversary, a church board meeting." Tomboy-since-birth Sarah Herrin is one of Alaska's best Sexy Strapless Pink High-low Prom Dress racers in the summer and one of its grittiest basketball players in the winter, a two-sport combination that makes her easy to pick out in a crowd -- she's the redhead with all the black-and-blue marks.

She spends half the year as a gearhead and the other half in the near-constant company of other women on the UAA basketball team -- a perfect mix for Herrin, and one that works pretty well for her Sexy Strapless Sweetheart Chiffon Evening Gown teammates too. Herrin, who years ago learned how to take apart an engine, does manly favors for them. And they do girly favors for her. She has come to the rescue of teammates with battery problems and flat tires. "It's nice to have those skills," she said.

And it's nice to have a locker room filled with BFFs. Team rules require the Seawolves to dress up occasionally, but when it comes to frilly fashion, Herrin's wardrobe offers little more than a couple Sexy Sweetheart White And Pink Tutu Dress prom dresses left over from her days at Nikiski High School. "I'll ask one of my teammates, 'You got something I can borrow?' " "I've been a tomboy forever. I had the bowl haircut and everything," said Herrin, who got her ears pierced years ago so people would know she was a girl. "I like playing in the dirt and doing boy activities."
